Yesterday I received a call at 04:55 informing me that my friend, Kelsey, was in labour. I was being summoned (welcomed, really) to support her and her husband as they brought their child into the world.
Birth is miraculous. It is amazing -- like a.m.a.z.i.n.g! And I feel so blessed to be invited into this intimate and inspiring time in people's lives. I cannot think of anything so beautiful, so raw, so powerful, and so sacred.
Four years ago I had the honour of attending my first birth as a 'doula' as Sawyer Dawn wasted no time making her entrance into the world. I can tell you that it never gets old. It never gets less exciting. It is never any less awesome.
I'm still buzzing.

Its true! Sometimes I lie in bed and just think of my own labour/birth and I always find myself amazed and what my body did. It's amazing!
Hey lady. Thinking of you lots. Hope things are well. Much love to you. xoxo
